3 months agoWhen we moved up to high school, we were given ten new kids, because our class size/lineup of kids hadn't changed much in the last decade. Our school community is tight, and often referred to by students as a 'family'. The new kids, all coming from various public schools, were very overwhelmed and anxious. One even told me "There is no way I thought I would fit in, you've all grown so close." So I befriended not one, but all of them. Most of them have made the transition well, except for some residual social anxiety/paranoia.
